101 Alta St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 101 Alta St in Telegraph Hill, owned by Daniel Lorimer, has undergone significant renovations since its construction in 1900. The most substantial recent work occurred in 2013, when the basement floor was lowered by 2'-11", extended, and equipped with radiant heat systems throughout the building, with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $43,000. Earlier improvements between 2009-2011 included multiple bathroom and kitchen remodels, window replacements, and fire escape repairs following damage from a garbage truck.

Several building violations were recorded and resolved between 2002-2010, primarily related to fire safety and structural issues, including problems with the fire escape, exterior doors, and unsafe stairs, though these were all abated by February 2010. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring plumbing issues, including sewage leaks in 2007 and October 2009, and a significant complaint about severe mold, water leaks, and unsafe stairs filed in October 2009 that led to multiple permits for repairs. In 2016, there were complaints about unpermitted remodeling work in unit 1313, though these were quickly addressed.

Recent external maintenance issues have included street cleaning, pavement defects, and graffiti removal as recorded in 311 calls between 2013-2024. Two fire incidents were recorded with no civilian injuries, one being a smoke scare and the other an unintentional alarm activation. The most recent significant building permit activity was completed in 2013, and there have been no major violations or complaints in the past 10+ years, suggesting improved maintenance and compliance in recent years.
